News from Nashville

The American Football Coaches Association is holding its Convention in Nashville this week. I have been blessed greatly to have had the opportunity to see, hear and meet so many great Coaches. On Sunday I attended a Worship service hosted by the Fellowship of Christian athletes and heard Les Steckel and others share. Monday Evening I listened to The Special Teams coach from Kentucky State and the Quarterback Coach from the University of Houston. Monday I attended the HS Coaches Clinic and Heard Head Coaches from a Cleveland Area, Maryville, Tenn, and St Thomas Aquanas. Later that day Mike Leach (Texas Tech), Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) spoke on their Philosophy. The Greates Treat was a session moderated by Grant Teaff (former Baylor Coach) which had Joe Paterno and Tom Osborne discuss issues from their Career. The evening conctluded with buzz sessions from Mike Sewak (GT) on the Option scheme and Chris Hatcher (Georgia Southern) on Quarterback play. The last event of the day was an FCA even featuring Frosty Westerly.
